Patient Education Binder

Seeing is believing. It can be also expressed as "only physical or concrete evidence is convincing" which you surely have heard as a popular argument on many fronts.

Well, your patients are human, and thus, adding physical evidence to your statements or positions can aid in understanding and spur conversation.

Dr. Spencer Muro ( @SpencerMuro ) suggested that, when educating pt's on pain science or imaging results, we use the above concept to corroborate our "claims." Use visible evidence, not just repeat it verbally. Enter: The Patient Education Binder.

We used to show patient's pictures of these images on our phones, but a print-our hard copy in large font is more useful and meaningful (personal anecdote). Now, we did not make these images, and I will give credit to the maker's / authors of them. I asked The Sports Physio ( @AdamMeakins ) to tweet some of them, PainCloud.com ( @PainCloud1 ) produces great stuff, the rest are found on Twitter or a search engine. Disclaimer disclaimer etc. (Most credit is available on the image itself). They are great representations of current understanding.

Spencer also adds a Pain Video Handout to patients that it is appropriate for. This is good for "Video Homework" and is a great way to share ideas. Good opportunity to ask questions of the patient on the return visit about the content.
